I once was a hero in your brown eyes I tried so hard to be strong Even angels fall down dead Heroes land hard when they fall I've been steamrolled, bullet holes, hurricanes I faced it all with no fear for my life But now I find that I can't make the simple wrong turn right And I don't feel like no hero now If love is a virtue, loneliness a sin I've been too lonely too long I know I've hurt you, I've let you down Without meaning to at all I've been steamrolled, bullet holes, hurricanes I faced it all with no fear for my life But now I find that I can't make the simple wrong turn right And I don't feel like no hero now
